Ecology Under the Microscope Microslide

Investigate ecological processes and life cycles.

Old atoms never die. Atoms that may have once belonged to a dinosaur may now be in your blood and tissues. This set shows students how the microscopic world helps to keep the world ecosystem in balance as it follows the on-going cycle of producers, consumers and decomposers.

Introduce junior and senior high school students to the world of microscopy with inexpensive, unbreakable Microslides. Microslides consist of a strip of film with eight photomicrographs, each reproduced exactly as you would see them through a professional microscope under ideal conditions. You can supply all your students with their own Microslides. A detailed text folder is included. Viewers are available separately.
